Happy Holidays!

Well lookey here....

I have been feeling extraordinary guilty about not posting on this blog for so long.  It has kept me up at night.  Should I just delete it?  Should I change the name?  Should I try to catch up on the last four months (no way...)?  And then in a burst of energy this morning, I said "Yes!  I am going to update the blog!"  I go to blogger and find out it has been deleted.  Tears ensue.  I google like crazy, post on message boards, cry to Mark.  Then I log out of google, log back in and lo and behold, there she is.  Crazy interwebs.  It's a lesson to me that I should post regularly.  So what should I post about?  Here it goes...new house, back to work, hurricane, snow storm, lots of furniture purchases, Jack growing too fast, Lyla loves school, overgrown Christmas tree, strep throat, double ear infection, bronchitis, double ear infection, no sleep, no sleep, no sleep, the end.  I'm sure you have a pretty good picture now. 

I learned my lesson and will make a better effort to post regularly.  On a more serious note, this blog is important to me.  I love looking back and seeing how lucky we are to have an amazing family and a wonderful life.  When I think about the recent tragedies in Connecticut and the awful nanny tragedy on the Upper West Side earlier this year, it makes me want to go back to this blog and soak in every moment documented here.  It has been a tough few months here.  But there have also been so many reasons to smile.  Here are a few of them:

My sweet little blog, I will see you soon.  Here is a little holiday gift:
